Dave, I know that black pad isn't solderable by any alloy. But it's still justified to relate the nickel barrier plated boards to lead free. Before lead free the predominant board plating was HASL and OSP. These platings disappeared with the switch

Indium Pb paste has always been great but the flux tends to implode on the BGA's (despite many different profile strategies). The Indium Pb-Free is horrible...horrible, and have been kicked out of my lead-free eval. PS-I went to Moonman/Guru link a

Fellas: I'm having a tough time with voiding with my lead free water soluble paste under my large BGAs. I know some is almost inevitable, but this is more than I'd like. This is with a slope of .9, soak of 60 seconds, above 217 for 85 seco

Hi CP, From a PCB manufacturing side, all of our product is Lead free / RoHs compliant if it has a surface finish other than Hot Air. To be ROHS compliant and Able to with stand Lead Free Assembly, this is where the board house would need to switch

The is a serious concern of lead contamination of leadfree solder connections. For background, search the fine SMTnet Archives. For instance: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=30307

Best is 7 or 6.5D if you cant achieve 7. In fact this is the best angle for Leaded and Lead Free, so watch the Chinese machines as they come in around 5 and cause loads of bridging problems

Jeff, I guess my experience in such issues always took me back to the screen printing process and I only want to bring up that portion of the possible causes to this case. When we talk about coplanarity, the component lead coplanarity first comes t

I predict you will have no problems with your soldering. Remember that all plating is only a few microns thick and quickly washed away by the molten solder. We have used white tin, immersion gold, OSG, etc. for quite a while with leaded solder and
